Published 11:23 pm Thursday, January 29, 2009

A tough second half slowed down the Athletics boys basketball team in a 65-49 loss at Houston Thursday.

After taking a 32-24 lead to the break, L/P (7-6 overall, 4-4 SEC) was outscored 41-17 in the final 18 minutes by Houston (6-7 overall, 5-3 SEC).

“We got outworked and outhustled,” L/P head coach Reid Olson said. “All of the things we did to them in the first half, they did to us in the second half. We didn’t get the job done.”
